Hahaha, great point :) HELLO FELLOW HUMAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUILD AN AUTHENTIC, TRUSTED AND ENGAGED RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING THAT IS TOTALLY NOT A ROBOT? :D

Quotes from the original announcement:

Today, Reddit is the most human place on the internet, and one of the last places on the internet where brands can build authentic, trusted and engaged relationships with customers.

Bwahaha, “most human”? Really? Wow.

A scalable, AI-powered social listening tool designed to unlock strategic value

Barf. Oh boy, “social listening tool” - that’s a new one…

These are tools for a new era of community marketing, one where brands can tap into Reddit’s authenticity

Yup, because nothing says “authenticity” like artificially realigned messages interspersed with AI slop ads. Such real, much authentic, wow…

Wouldn’t be surprised, since “no” as a full sentence does not exist in tech or online anymore - it’s always “yes” or “maybe later/not now/remind me next time” or other crap like that…

Et tu, Wikipedia?

My god, why does every damn piece of text suddenly need to be summarized by AI? It’s completely insane to me. I want to read articles, not their summaries in 3 bullet points. I want to read books, not cliff notes, I want to read what people write to me in their emails instead of AI slop. Not everything needs to be a fucking summary!

It seriously feels like the whole damn world is going crazy, which means it’s probably me… :(

Amen to that - way too many people forget that interviews are a two way street. You interview me, sure, but at the same time I am also interviewing you to see if the company is a good fit for me. Job seekers are not (or should not be) a bunch of starving orphans begging rich for job owners for scraps. Having a job means providing a service and being compensated for it, not total servitude…

I would have to be MUCH more desperate than I am to ever accept being interviewed by a damn machine… It’s even worse than those “record yourself answering these questions” bullshit. Nobody should work for a company that does not even respect them enough to talk to them
